New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/new-ZEE-lənd, Māori:Aotearoa[aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu – and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.
Somewhere between 1250 and 1300 CE, Polynesians settled in the islands that were to become New Zealand, and developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, became the first European to sight New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the British Crown and Māori Chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, making New Zealand a British colony. Today, the majority of New Zealand's population of 4.5 million is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. Reflecting this, New Zealand's culture is mainly derived from Māori and early British settlers, with recent broadening arising from increased immigration. The official languages are English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language, with English predominant.
The 2011 Rugby World Cup was the seventh Rugby World Cup, a quadrennial international rugby union competition inaugurated in 1987. The International Rugby Board (IRB) selected New Zealand as the host country in preference to Japan and South Africa at a meeting in Dublin on 17 November 2005. The tournament was won by New Zealand, who defeated France 8–7 in the final. The defending champions, South Africa, were eliminated by Australia 11–9 in the quarter-finals. The result marked the third time that the tournament was won by the country that hosted the event (following New Zealand in 1987 and South Africa in 1995).
It was the largest sporting event ever held in New Zealand, eclipsing the 1987 Rugby World Cup, 1990 Commonwealth Games, 1992 Cricket World Cup and the 2003 America's Cup. Overseas visitors to New Zealand for the event totalled 133,000, more than the 95,000 that the organisers expected. However, there was a drop in non-event visitors, meaning the net increase in visitors over the previous year was less than 80,000.
Fitzherbert was born in Dorset, England, on 15 August 1810, and studied medicine in Paris and London. Late in 1840 or early 1841 he married Sarah Jane Leigh in London. They came to New Zealand in 1841, settling in Wellington.
Political career
Member of Parliament
He soon became active in politics, serving both on the Wellington Provincial Council and in the New Zealand Parliament. He was elected to the 2nd Parliament as a representative of the City of Wellington electorate, but resigned part way through the term to successfully seek election as representative for the Hutt electorate, which happened on 31 July 1858. He contested the general election on 29 December 1875 against Hutchison and obtained 178 votes, with Hutchison receiving 38. He retained the Hutt electorate until his resignation in 1879, so that he could appointed to the Legislative Council. He also served as Colonial Treasurer (Minister of Finance) for the duration of Frederick Weld's premiership.
William Alfred Fitzherbert (1842 – 2 February 1906) was the first Mayor of Lower Hutt, New Zealand, from when Lower Hutt became a borough in 1891 to 1898. He was an engineer and farmer in New Zealand.
In 1876, he married the adopted daughter of George Waterhouse, and they had five daughters and four sons. He died suddenly in Lower Hutt on 2 February 1906 of heart failure.
In 2011, plaques were installed on 13 boulders at the Hutt Recreation Ground commemorating the first 13 mayors.
Sir William Fitzherbert (15 August 1810 – 6 February 1891) was a New Zealand politician. He served as Minister of Finance, Speaker of the House of Representatives, and Speaker of the Legislative Council.

Haunted Waverley Abbey | Almost A Thousand Years Old | The Monks Never Left | #paranormal 🇬🇧
A Brief History:
Waverley Abbey was built in 1128 by William Giffard, the Bishop of Winchester. The abbey was the first Cistercian abbey in England built along the River Wey in Surrey. Manual work was encouraged by the monks and they worked the land around them.
The abbey started with just 12 monks but by 1187 there were 70 monks and 120 lay brothers in residence.
In 1201 the abbey was flooded and this happened regularly which meant the abbey had to be rebuilt during the 13th century. The monks would also provided shelter for pilgrims and travellers and an infirmary for the sick.
Henry VIII ordered the dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 and the abbey was given to Sir William Fitzherbert, treasurer of the kings household, who dismantled the abbey and used the stone to build his hou...

Waverley Abbey
Waverley Abbey in Surrey was the very first monastery founded in Britain by the reforming Cistercian religious order. A small group of monks from France. The monastery at Waverley, the first Cistercian house to be established in Britain, was founded by William Gifford, Bishop of Winchester, in 1128. It was colonised with 12 monks and an abbot from Aumone in France. By 1187 there were 70 monks and 120 lay brothers in residence.
In 1201 the abbey buildings were badly flooded. This became a common occurrence and as a result the abbey was substantially rebuilt during the 13th century.
It continued to grow in the 14th century. The monks and lay brothers farmed the surrounding land, were active in the Cistercian wool trade and provided shelter for pilgrims and travellers and an infirmary for...

EDIT: Apologies friends, I made a date fumble in this - when talking about George abandoning Mrs Fitzherbert and taking new mistresses - I said "1590s" and "1595". I meant 1790s and 1795. I do make these slips quite frequently as it is a feature of my dyslexia.

Suffrage Day 19 September Margaret Sievwright Memorial
Today, the 19th September is Suffrage Day. On this day in 1893, 127 years ago, New Zealand became the first nation in the world where women successfully fought for and won the right to vote in parliamentary elections.
The passing of the act in 1893 was a close run thing. The Legislative Council, had prevented the passing of the bill in 1891 and 1892 due to the petitioning of Liquor interests (who were worried women would favour prohibition), and new Premier Richard Seddon also tried to sabotage the bill. But, on the day, two legislative councillors changed their votes to embarrass Seddon and the bill passed by 20 votes to 18.
We all know the name Kate Sheppard, but a campaign of this magnitude was the work of many, and one of those leaders was a woman called Margaret Sievwright, from Gis...

14: Peace in Paris; Turmoil in New York
“I have not only grown gray but almost blind in service to my country.”
This is the story (or tale) of two cities.
In Paris, Ben Franklin, John Adams, John Jay, and (briefly) Henry Laurens negotiate the terms of American independence. They’ll outmaneuver the greatest powers on earth and defy Congress as they negotiate the greatest achievement in American diplomatic history.
Meanwhile, officers in the Continental Army are done with Congress’s broken promises. They’re even considering violence … could a military coup end the American experiment before the peace treaty is even signed? Help us George Washington. You’re our only hope.

Today, the 19th September is Suffrage Day. On this day in 1893, 127 years ago, New Zealand became the first nation in the world where women successfully fought for and won the right to vote in parliamentary elections.
The passing of the act in 1893 was a close run thing. The Legislative Council, had prevented the passing of the bill in 1891 and 1892 due to the petitioning of Liquor interests (who were worried women would favour prohibition), and new Premier Richard Seddon also tried to sabotage the bill. But, on the day, two legislative councillors changed their votes to embarrass Seddon and the bill passed by 20 votes to 18.
We all know the name Kate Sheppard, but a campaign of this magnitude was the work of many, and one of those leaders was a woman called Margaret Sievwright, from Gisborne. They, and many others rallied women to their cause, presenting massive petitions to parliament. The one gathered in 1893 was signed by almost a quarter of the adult female population of New Zealand.

“I have not only grown gray but almost blind in service to my country.”
This is the story (or tale) of two cities.
In Paris, Ben Franklin, John Adams, John Jay, and (briefly) Henry Laurens negotiate the terms of American independence. They’ll outmaneuver the greatest powers on earth and defy Congress as they negotiate the greatest achievement in American diplomatic history.
Meanwhile, officers in the Continental Army are done with Congress’s broken promises. They’re even considering violence … could a military coup end the American experiment before the peace treaty is even signed? Help us George Washington. You’re our only hope.

Diaken Osseweijer leest uit het Romeins Martyrologium van 8 juni en brengt één van de heiligen bijzonder voor het voetlicht, op deze dag wordt met name de heilige William Fitzherbert besproken.
A Brief History:
Waverley Abbey was built in 1128 by William Giffard, the Bishop of Winchester. The abbey was the first Cistercian abbey in England built along the River Wey in Surrey. Manual work was encouraged by the monks and they worked the land around them.
The abbey started with just 12 monks but by 1187 there were 70 monks and 120 lay brothers in residence.
In 1201 the abbey was flooded and this happened regularly which meant the abbey had to be rebuilt during the 13th century. The monks would also provided shelter for pilgrims and travellers and an infirmary for the sick.
Henry VIII ordered the dissolution of the Monasteries in 1536 and the abbey was given to Sir William Fitzherbert, treasurer of the kings household, who dismantled the abbey and used the stone to build his house a few miles away.
The Abbey has been featured in many films & TV Series including Hot Fuzz, Elizabeth : The Golden Age, Creation, Into The Woods, The Mummy, The Huntsman: Winter’s War & 28 Days Later.

Excerpt from the historical monologue "400 Years of English History" presented by artist/historian George S. Stuart as part of an exhibit of his Historical Figures at the Ventura County Museum of Art and History in Ventura California.

Waverley Abbey in Surrey was the very first monastery founded in Britain by the reforming Cistercian religious order. A small group of monks from France. The monastery at Waverley, the first Cistercian house to be established in Britain, was founded by William Gifford, Bishop of Winchester, in 1128. It was colonised with 12 monks and an abbot from Aumone in France. By 1187 there were 70 monks and 120 lay brothers in residence.
In 1201 the abbey buildings were badly flooded. This became a common occurrence and as a result the abbey was substantially rebuilt during the 13th century.
It continued to grow in the 14th century. The monks and lay brothers farmed the surrounding land, were active in the Cistercian wool trade and provided shelter for pilgrims and travellers and an infirmary for the sick.
In 1536, with the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the site passed to Sir William Fitzherbert, treasurer of the king’s household. Much of the abbey was dismantled and some of the stone was reused to build Sir William More’s house at Loseley, a few miles to the east. Music by Bensounds

EDIT: Apologies friends, I made a date fumble in this - when talking about George abandoning Mrs Fitzherbert and taking new mistresses - I said "1590s" and "1595". I meant 1790s and 1795. I do make these slips quite frequently as it is a feature of my dyslexia. I always try to pick it up but unfortunately, sometimes, I don't spot the mistake will note taking, filming or editing (I don't work with anyone on these and it can be hard to spot your own mistakes). I can't promise this won't happen again, but I will keep doing my very best to avoid it.
History is full of examples of types of marriages to avoid… George and Caroline’s is certainly one of them…

New Zealand (/njuːˈziːlənd/new-ZEE-lənd, Māori:Aotearoa[aɔˈtɛaɾɔa]) is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses – that of the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Māui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu – and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometres (900mi) east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1,000 kilometres (600mi) south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. During its long isolation, New Zealand developed a distinctive biodiversity of animal, fungal and plant life. The country's varied topography and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to the tectonic uplift of land and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand's capital city is Wellington, while its most populous city is Auckland.
Somewhere between 1250 and 1300 CE, Polynesians settled in the islands that were to become New Zealand, and developed a distinctive Māori culture. In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, became the first European to sight New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the British Crown and Māori Chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, making New Zealand a British colony. Today, the majority of New Zealand's population of 4.5 million is of European descent; the indigenous Māori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. Reflecting this, New Zealand's culture is mainly derived from Māori and early British settlers, with recent broadening arising from increased immigration. The official languages are English, Māori and New Zealand Sign Language, with English predominant.
